Abstract

Background: Sleep quality is a key indicator of health in later life, yet it often deteriorates as individuals age, particularly among those living in institutional settings. In nursing homes, biological changes interact with daily routines and limited physical activity, potentially aggravating sleep disturbances. Understanding these interactions is essential for developing feasible interventions for elderly residents. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 288 older adults residing in nursing homes in Malang, Indonesia. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on predefined criteria. Physical activity was assessed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and anxiety using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). Multivariate linear regression was applied to examine associations between demographic factors, anxiety, physical activity, and sleep quality. Results: The regression model explained 37.9% of the variance in PSQI scores (R2 = 0.379). While higher physical activity levels significantly predicted better sleep quality (β = -0.415, p < 0.001). advanced age (β = 0.043, p = 0.018) and female sex (β = 0.482, p = 0.003) were significantly linked to worse sleep outcomes. Neither anxiety (β = -0.069, p = 0.071) and employment history (β = -0.079, p = 0.086) were not significantly associated with sleep quality. Conclusion: Among the factors examined, physical activity demonstrated the strongest association with sleep quality in elderly nursing home residents. These findings highlight the potential value of activity-based programs as part of routine care, while also pointing to the need for sleep interventions that account for age-related and sex-specific differences.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a debilitating neurological condition and a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide; effective management of chronic stroke survivors requires continuous family support for rehabilitation and recovery. This study aimed to examine the lived experiences and caregiving burden of family members of chronic stroke survivors. Methods: This descriptive qualitative study was conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (March - April 2025), using purposive sampling to recruit eleven primary family caregivers of chronic stroke survivors attending outpatient rehabilitation. Data were collected through semi-structured, face-to-face interviews, audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis. Data collection and analysis proceeded concurrently until thematic saturation was reached. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. Results: Three themes emerged: health-seeking behavior, access to rehabilitation, and caregiving experiences. Caregivers faced significant physical, psychological, and financial burdens due to continuous care demands, limited access to physiotherapy, and inadequate rehabilitation guidance despite having health insurance. Conclusion: The findings highlight the urgent need for financial support and policy action to advance digital innovation in rehabilitation and reduce the chronic burden caused by systemic gaps.

Abstract

Background: Early mobilization is an important component of postoperative care and a commonly used indicator of patient prognosis. Postoperative complications, prolonged length of stay, and hospital readmission are common after cancer surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between early mobilization in hypoalbuminemia cancer patients and length of stay and readmission after surgery. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study with total sampling of eligible cancer patients treated at Prof. Dr. R.D Kandou General Hospital. Patients were categorized based on initiation of postoperative early mobilization. The main outcomes were prolonged length of stay (LOS > 10 days) and 30-day readmission. Results: Thirty-four patients met inclusion criteria, with 52.94% receiving early mobilization. Prolonged hospitalization was frequent, affecting 88.88% of patients, and one-third required readmission within 30 days. No significant association was found between early mobilization and either length of stay or readmission. Conclusion: Although early mobilization did not show measurable benefits in these outcomes, lack of statistical association does not imply clinical irrelevance. Early mobilization therefore remains clinically justified, not as a guarantee of shorter hospitalization, but as a strategy to preserve functional independence and mitigate the physiological costs of immobility.

Abstract

Background: Flexibility and functional mobility are two important parts of Taekwondo performance. It is thought that new ways of teaching will help athletes recover faster and move better. The purpose of this study was to determine how a Sports Education-based learning model combined with active recovery affected the recovery of flexibility and functional mobility in Taekwondo athletes. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-test and post-test control group design. Twenty-eight Taekwondo athletes (aged 16 to 20) were divided into two groups. The experimental group using a sports education model with active recovery, and the control group using regular training. The intervention lasted six weeks. The sit-and-reach test and the shoulder-wrist test were used to measure flexibility during the acute and chronic phases. Functional movement screening (FMS) and the multidirectional kick height test were used to assess functional mobility. Results: Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that there were big differences between the groups (p<0.05). The experimental group showed faster recovery of flexibility after exercise, bigger improvements in FMS scores, especially in the active straight leg raise and rotary stability components, and big increases in kicking height and accuracy. Conclusion: The sport education model with active recovery speeds up the recovery of flexibility and improves the functional mobility of Taekwondo athletes. This makes it a good suggestion for developing training programs.

Abstract

Background: Single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) is widely used to manage multilevel lower-limb deformities and gait impairment in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy. However, the long-term relationship between gait correction, functional mobility, biomechanical outcomes, and the need for additional surgery remains incompletely defined. This systematic review evaluated long-term functional mobility and gait-related outcomes after SEMLS or related multilevel surgical procedures in ambulatory children and adolescents with cerebral palsy. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus. Long-term follow-up was defined as postoperative follow-up exceeding 12 months. Eligible studies included original clinical studies evaluating SEMLS, multilevel gait improvement surgery, or procedure-specific interventions performed as part of a multilevel surgical approach in ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy. Functional mobility outcomes included Functional Mobility Scale (FMS), Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire Walking Scale (FAQWS), Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), assistive device use, and wheelchair use. Gait-related outcomes included global gait indices, three-dimensional gait analysis, spatiotemporal parameters, kinematic and kinetic variables, and biomechanical measures. Methodological quality was assessed using MINORS, and findings were synthesized narratively. Results: Of 480 identified records, 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. Functional mobility outcomes showed maintenance or improvement of ambulatory ability after SEMLS, although outcomes varied according to baseline GMFCS level and walking distance. Patients with GMFCS levels I–II generally demonstrated more favorable household and community mobility than those with GMFCS level III. Global gait indices, including GPS, GDI, EVGS, and GGI, generally improved after SEMLS. However, residual abnormalities such as pelvic tilt, swing-phase knee motion, postoperative back-kneeing, and recurrent crouch gait were also reported. Several long-term cohorts reported additional orthopedic surgery because of recurrence, residual deformity, or newly developed biomechanical problems. Conclusion: SEMLS was associated with favorable long-term functional mobility and gait-related outcomes in ambulatory cerebral palsy. However, postoperative outcomes remained heterogeneous across functional level, gait domain, surgical composition, and follow-up duration.
